Race #: 1

Date: 4-4-10 We went to Tyler County Speedway for their season opener. They had 17 mods and I drew a #14 to start us on the outside pole of the 2nd heat. When they threw the green I stood on the gas and spun my tires and got a horrible start. A yellow occurred and it was a complete restart. So this time I gradually applied the gas pedal and seemed to maintain with the pole setter. But the pole setter was crowding me up the track and we rubbed on one another up the front chute, but it caused me to spin sideway in front of the field. Unfortunately we gave Mike McPherson no where to go. He was able to finish the race, but we broke and upper control arm. Fixed what we could and started 17th in the feature. Worked our way up to 7th place and I thought the car was coming on good, until we got a right rear flat. We got a DNF and were paid for 12th. Not the way to start the year, but we’ll be back out again next weekend.

Next Saturday we’ll be heading to K-C Speedway for the first Road Warrior Tour race. Hope to see you there.

First Race This Saturday

Date: 3-29-10 Well it is coming down to the wire to have everything ready for this weekend. We got a 2008, 28’ enclosed trailer. It is a little smaller but a lot lighter and Cooper has got it pretty close and ready for the season. The car is basically done except for decals, which should be done by the end of the week. Our first race will be at Tyler County on Saturday, since Skyline has postponed there opener until April 16th. I have updated the schedule page. I’m getting really anxious for the start of the season and looking forward to a successful season. So be watching next Monday for the update on how we do. Hopefully I won’t fire myself right off the bat. . . .LOL

Thanks to everyone who has helped get us to this point thus far!

3 Weeks Until 1st Race

First off, I want to apologize for not keeping my web site up to date the last half of the 2009 season. With all of the transitioning that was taking place, I just wasn’t up for updating it all. But to recap, I finished racing for Hassy Chassis in June and Louie Krushansky and his team volunteered his back up car so that we would keep racing. I believe I drove it 5 times and had mostly top 5 runs in it. In the meantime a deal was being worked out with my arch enemy, Jr. Nolan. It was a deal that would allow us to race a new Shaw Chassis. So the last half of the year we drove for 2 Brothers Motorsports and Shaw Chassis. We picked up 2 more feature wins and several 2nd’s and 3rd’s. We improved tremendously on slick tracks.

I want to thank Tod Buckhalter at Hassy Chassis for several good years of racing and I want to thank Jr. and Tommy Nolan of 2 Brothers Motorsports and Kevin Shaw of Shaw Chassis for allowing me to come on board and be a part of their team. We intend to run the same Shaw Chassis for 2010. It is nearly complete and will soon be decal’ed and ready to race. I want to thank Billy Lloyd Racing Engines and Kanawha Valley Maintenance for the efforts and support! Our support this year will be 2 Brother’s Motorsports, Shaw Chassis, K-Graphics. Also receive some help, whether it be in money or labor, Billy Joe and Wanda Hammett, the Lemon Family, the Cooper Family, Jason Canepari and of course Dad and Mom. Really anxious to get he season kicked off and hope to get several wins.

On Feb. 14th I asked Kim to marry me and she said yes. So it looks like on 10/10/10 we will be getting married. She picked the date. I reminded her that racing season is still going on. She informed me that is where she wants to be in years to come on our anniversary. So everyone now knows and everyone can help remind her of it. LOL

As of now April 2nd is the first race and it will be at Skyline. Then April 3rd we will be heading to Tyler County.

Race #18

Friday we went to the long awaited Greg Schilling Memorial race at Skyline Speedway. It was a great event that brought in 55 modifieds. I messed up in qualifying and we wound up 4th fastest in our group. Started 4th in the heat and finished 3rd. They were only taking the top 2, so we started the pole of the 2nd consi. We went on to win the consi to start us 14th in the feature. We came up to finish 9th. I was happy to make the show and happy to advance positions. I want to thank all that was there and all that helped put the race on. I am already looking forward to next year’s Memorial Race. I also want to thank Louie Krushansky, Ray, Pam and Kevin for all of their help with their GRS Modified.

This weekend we plan to go to Skyline on Friday and Ohio Valley on Saturday. Hope to see you there! Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!
